Like I said, it's not hard to find exceptions to the general situation. The issue of source code availability with MenuetOS is irrelevant because the binary program and the original source code are one and the same. That doesn't change the fact that the general statement still stands: it takes an unnecessary amount of effort to make meaningful changes to binary code as compared to the source code version; users must have authority to the source to practise freedom 1.

You are confused about the issues that RMS is referring to.
1. HTML is a language used to describe a special type of document, the hypertext document. HTML is not used to conjure the spirits of the computer.
2. Whatever a person does on their own system is their own problem. If someone serves a web page using IIS, they're the one choosing to give up their freedom, not you. It would be your problem when you run IIS on YOUR computer.
3. Whatever a company (or individual) providing online services does on their own systems is their own business. When you access their system, you aren't going to have the same rights as accessing your own computer system.
4. Remote terminal sessions are the same thing. If the remote session isn't your machine, it isn't your problem to what software they run.
5. RMS actually cautions people who cares for their freedom to only rely on free software and not on online services provided by external entities.
